About This Quote

The song was there, buried somewhere in my brain. All I had to do was follow the clues until I figured it out. This quote is about the art of writing songs. We all know that when we write songs, it’s like solving a puzzle.

We have an image of what we want to say, but we need to figure out what words to use and how to arrange them to make the song sound good. The analogy in this quote is about solving a puzzle in which you have all of the pieces in front of you, but you still need to put them in the right order to make the picture complete.
